Personal Statement


I plan to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in Psychology and eventually become a Sports Psychologist. Volleyball has been my absolute passion since starting for my first club team at the age of 8. Some consider me to be one of the top 2012 Libero recruits in the nation (selected to represent USA in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in August and also honored by Prepvolleyball.com as the #2 Sophomore defensive player in the country). When I enter your program, you can trust that my experience from indoor and beach championship matches, experience playing each position on the court, a decade of elite-level club volleyball, international experience, and 8 years on top school and club teams, will help your team win. Nothing is more important to me than the team. I will not let my teammates down. You can trust me to play and even lead as a Freshman, so I desire to play for a D1 team where there's an opportunity to contribute early on. I prefer D1 universities that will have a "Sand Volleyball" program (I have a "AA" Women's Beach VB rating and in 2010 was honored as the AAU Beach Volleyball Player of the Year).
